GameZone's Lance Liebl writes, "There's nothing that annoys me more than having to try to defend the Wii U to people. It's like I'm surrounded by gamers that feel the console is a waste and that its early sales numbers are indicative of a failed console for Nintendo. I can't wait to laugh in their faces as 2013 progresses. I keep saying the same thing over and over: just wait until the big first-party games come out... just wait. Well, it looks like that waiting will be over at E3, as Nintendo announced today a ton of previously unannounced titles that will be shown off at the summer's premiere gaming expo."
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
20 years later, The Wind Waker’s Ganondorf is still The Legend of Zelda’s best villain.
"There's nothing that annoys me more than having to try to defend the Wii U to people"
and you are helping yourself by having a title like "PSA for the Wii U haters: look at those games we're getting"? It's just asking for trouble.
Just be a bigger person might be a better response and having "Resident Evil 6 has good graphics, but the game sucked. Just throwing that out there" is really not going to help. Actually it is quite ironic what you are doing there
Also a small point but"I can play my Wii U on the toilet or on a train without a TV" isn't a big sell for me or a lot of people as I/ a lot of people tend not to spend hours on the toilet. Minutes at most. A better argument would be I can play anywhere in the house without moving the Wii U. The train idea is a bit misleading as you need the train to have power (not all do. In fact in the UK only certain mainline trains have a couple per carriage) and you have to take the Wii U console with you
Still don't see how these games will attract anyone that isn't already a Nintendo fan.
Desperate much?
so this is what the gaming media turn into ...!!!! :(
Looked at the headline title and said to myself, "This won't end well."
